This audiobook can help prevent teen suicides.

Teenagers need all the help they can get. They are so often swept up in mass behavior that they don't consider the impact their behavior or comments on social media have on other teens. When everyone is laughing at a person, it takes guts to walk away or stick up for the targeted teen. This audiobook does a great job of explaining in a down-to-earth manner the difference between sympathy, empathy, and pity and how each of these plays a role in "group" actions toward another teen. A great analogy about thinking through what you say before you say it, like putting water through a filter before you drink it. It tells you how and why to think for yourself, don't assume, and take action on your own to make a difference. Stereotypes, prejudice, and biases affect your behavior if left unchecked. To me, the most important message is that each individual teen is important and can affect positive changes and maybe even save someone's life by what they say, don't say, or do.
